Zerg can't 15 hatch and must pool first even versus terran? Legit. No problems. Do you really trust them to be making these changes and not putting them on a PTR? Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but blizzard might not know what they're doing. Welcom to TeamLiquid. Did you really create an account just to whine about the same thing in the same thread twice? On topic: I also got a patch today that says 1.4.2. Are the 1.4.3 changes actually in this patch? | ||

So instead of finding ways to give the other races more options they dumb down the ones with options ? That doesn't sound like good patch politics to me . Zerg without having to rely on fast expanding everytime or Protoss without their heavy reliance on Warpgate for example is something Blizzard could've looked into . But they're dumbing down the game to a few builds for everyone now shut up and be happy with it playing the same shit over an over again. | ||

Haha, no i made this account about a week ago and didn't want to share my opinion on anything else yet. I'm not whining about the patch. I'm whining about the way they implemented it. Please develop manners.. | ||

Plenty of great players *chose* Terran because it was definitively the best race when SC2 came out. Still, despite all the endless nerfs, Terran is doing pretty well. It has the most builds, the most diversity of play, the best micro options, the most forgiving macro mechanics, and has few build orders that auto lose. Don't give me that "Terran players are better" bull. | ||

And, so i don't get warned for that ill give my 2 cents. I think they really shouldve followed QXC's advice, and made the ghost snipe the same, but -50%DMG or something for massive. Because now, i can't really think of a way to effectively use ghosts anymore.For the investment, I feel like terran has 3 or 4 other better options now, Ravens, banshees. etc | ||

Someone posted a screenshot of it being 150/150, but when I tried to get it in single player I only saw the carrier upgrade. The bottom left of my menu screen did say I was using 1.4.3 so I don't know what's going on. | ||

I’m not sure anyone is saying that Terran doesn’t have the ability to win GSL’s? But I don’t believe winning a GSL automatically equates to being OP. Terran is an extremely difficult race to master. If you look at the statistics in silver, gold, platinum and diamond they show Terran significantly behind their counter parts, but if you manage to get over the hurdle and become a code S multi-tasking god, then you too can be a GSL champion. Unfortunately, that’s the minority and we are the majority which means most of us are all stuck pulling are hair out. I’ve also been of the opinion that Terran’s metagame was developing at a much quicker rate than the other 2 races, which left both Zerg and Protoss always trying to catch up with the metagame shifts. I remember when there was a new strategy coming out on a weekly basis for Terran. Now, I think we are at a state where Terran’s metagame is slowing down. Zerg and Protoss have pretty much figured out how to properly defend most of Terrans timing attacks. I think this is where you are going to start see Protoss and Zerg shine. The other statistic I would point to is the length of each game showing that Terran obviously feels the need to end the game quickly, because their ability to win mid and late game significantly decreases as Protoss Techs up and Zerg Macro’s up. | ||

What you are saying is like saying not needing a queen when you are playing Z and it would work out fine. If zerg doesn't need fast expanding, then blizzard basically needs to buff all the zerg units so that they are cost efficient enough to stay equal base as the other race. They aren't dumbing down the game, they are reducing the effectiveness of certain strategies so that the match ups can be developed further. | ||

Maybe they have to play a game after the new patch is up (once servers come back up) to get promoted? That makes sense, and I hope to see more well-known faces soon o.O | ||
